Liz Galloway recommends these Top 7 Must Know Tips to keep you, your staff and your clients healthy and happy with training – Make your education a vacation!
1. Clients enjoy the opportunity to have some highlights on new knowledge and trainings in treatments, showing them your level of professionalism and dedication too your work. It also lets them know you are keeping up on the industry changes. Specialty training and well thought out seminars help with this. Good training is a sign of good knowledge.
2. Follow up on industry trends before you book a training or seminar for yourself or a client. Ask questions that will let you know the results you will get from the training, and if it is in line with what you want. Do they include topics applicable to you and your client’s needs? Are you looking for organic product training, spa operations, theory or hands on? Make sure they meet your needs. In the end this will make you more comfortable with your decision.
3. Look for individual seminars and trainers who compliment gaps in information, training or specialties that compliment your own talents. This type of team building or focus on long term management creates a matrix environment; with individual people each playing a critical
role in the project or treatment's success.
4. What other life skills and transformation support does the seminar or training provide? There should be a strong support system and offer of post seminar assistance to help you integrate the training or subject matter, with consulting or tangible training materials. Will you also have the opportunity to relax, enjoy the local culture, and have a guide provided or coach provided to help your personal development? The surroundings and leisure time activities
